What is offset drift?

  • A.The change in offset between individual units
  • B.The change in offset voltage with temperature
  • C.The change in offset with the supply voltage
  • D.The change in offset over the first minutes after switch-on

Answer: B

Drift is the temperature coefficient of the offset voltage, quoted in microvolts per degree, and it matters because a nulled offset does not stay nulled as the equipment warms. Supply sensitivity, warm-up and unit-to-unit spread are three other specifications. Since offset can be trimmed to zero at one temperature but drift cannot be trimmed away, drift is the figure that limits a precision measurement over a working day.
